← HistoryWhich outcome occurs when a Viking longship encounters excessive transverse forces from wave action acting non-uniformly?
A)Hogging along the keel length✓
B)Increased rudder effectiveness quickly
C)Twisting via torsional stress only
D)Reduced draft from buoyant forces
💡 Explanation
Hogging results, because the longitudinal bending moment exceeds the hull's resistance; therefore, the ship's ends deflect downward, rather than twisting about the center or merely affecting localized areas because hydrostatic variations become extreme. The mechanism is structural deflection under load.
